While playing Scrabble vicariously through Chris Fosmire, a rare Bingo occasion occured.  A Bingo in Scrabble is when one uses all 7 tiles at once and gets an additional 50 point bonus.  In this case, there was an open D and the letters R E R I BLANK E E.  Immediately we checked for DREERIER, but learned it was DREARIER, to which I responded “My ass that’s not a word.”  Immediately, Chris grinned, turned the board and put down DERRIERE.

C. Fosmire was tired of indirect Scrabble competition as I shot words through other people so we had a throwdown.  A narrow victory in the first game gave way to a narrow loss in the second.  I would have been able to snatch victory but I later discovered that Qugei and OqG only exist as words in Klingon.
